Potato Chips Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Slice the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/16 inch thick.

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

   Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.

3. 3

   Dry the Potatoes

   Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan or a fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Chips

   Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil. Fry them in batches, avoiding overcrowding, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

6. 6

   Drain and Season

   Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt and paprika to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the potato chips warm with a side of salsa for dipping.
